Back in May, Capcom said Resident Evil 7 failing to meet the initial sales targets is not necessarily such a bad thing because the “lifecycle for games is growing longer.” Not only that, but digital sales are growing, and those are higher-margin compared to boxed retail games, which is a plus for Capcom.

Additionally, Resident Evil 7′s favorable reviews will help it continue to sell, Capcom said, while the company is also planning marketing events and more DLC to help increase sales further. “This title was received favorably by both fans and the media; further, its unit sales continue to grow even now,” Capcom said at the time. “We will work to achieve our unit sales goal this fiscal year by continuing to generate buzz with promotional activities that include events for fans, as well as with downloadable content.”

Next up for Resident Evil 7 is the free Not A Hero DLC, which adds Chris Redfield and launches on December 12. Also due out that day is the End of Zoe expansion, which features a “mysterious outdoorsman named Joe who lives along the bank of the marshes.” This expansion costs $15.
